House Profiles

Built in 1773 by John DeWitt, the home was part of the DeWitt family’s 200-acre farm and timber mill. DeWitt, a captain in the Revolutionary Army and a Member of the Continental Congress, also served as sheriff of Dutchess County. The home was added onto by a succession of families in the subsequent 250 years and now sits on nine acres that include protected wetlands and a section Crum Elbow creek.
